Acoustical properties of compressed earth blocks: Effect of compaction pressure, water hyacinth ash and lime

This study assessed the potential use of a mixture of lime and water hyacinth ash (WHA) as binders in fabrication of cylindrical compressed earth blocks (CEBs) with good acoustic absorption properties for building and construction. Different concentrations of the binders and compaction pressures wer...
